(1-x)NdAlO$_3$-xCaTiO$_3$세라믹스의 결정구조와 마이크로파 유전특성을 조사하였다. 시편의 결정구조는 조성에 따라서 변화하였는데, 그 결정구조는 x$\leq$0.1일 때는 능면정(rhombohedral) 구조를, 0.3$\leq$x$\leq$0.7에서는 정방정 (tetragonal) 구조를 그리고, x$\geq$0.7일 때 다시 사방정 (orthorhombic) 구조로 바뀌었다. 또한 (1-x)NdAlO$_3$-xCaTiO$_3$세라믹스에서 이차상의 두 종류가 발견되었다. x$\leq$0.5인 시편에서는 Nd$_4$Al$_2$O$_{9}$상이, x$\geq$0.7인 시편에서는 Al-rich상이 발견되었다. x가 증가함에 따라, 유전율 ($\varepsilon$$_{r}$)과 공진주파수의 온도계수 ($ au$$_{f}$ )가 증가하였고, Q$\times$f 값은 x의 증가에 따라 증가하며, x=0.5일 때 최대값을 얻었다. 그리고 0.3NdAlO$_3$-0.7CaTiO$_3$에서 Q$\times$f=46,000, $\varepsilon$$_{r}$=45 그리고 $\tau$$_{f}$ =-1.5 ppm/$^{\circ}C$의 우수한 마이크로파 유전특성을 얻을 수 있었다.

We investigate the microstructural and magnetic property changes of $DyH_2$, $Cu+DyH_2$, and $Al+DyH_2$ diffusion-treated NdFeB sintered magnets with the post annealing (PA) temperature. The coercivity of all the diffusion-treated magnets increases with increasing heat treatment temperature except at $910^{\circ}C$, where it decreases slightly. Moreover, at $880^{\circ}C$, the coercivity increases by 3.8 kOe in Cu and 4.7 kOe in Al-mixed $DyH_2$-coated magnets, whereas this increase is relatively low (3.0 kOe) in the magnet coated with only $DyH_2$. Both Cu and Al have an almost similar effect on the coercivity improvement, particularly over the heat treatment temperature range of $790-880^{\circ}C$. The diffusivity and diffusion depth of Dy increases in those magnets that are treated with Cu or Al-mixed $DyH_2$, mainly because of the comparatively easy diffusion path provided by Cu and Al owing to their solubility in the Nd-rich grain boundary phase. The formation of a highly anisotropic $(Nd,\;Dy)_2Fe_{14}B$ phase layer, which acts as the shell in the core-shell-type structure so as to prevent the reverse domain movement, is the cause of enhanced coercivity of diffusion-treated Nd-Fe-B magnets.

NdFeB magnets have been positioned as the core materials in advanced technologies such as MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), FA (factory automation system), robot, motors, and so on based on the highest magnetic properties. To effectively improve the refined microstructure, the plastic deformation has been known as the good alternatives by the recrystallization. However, it has been regarded as being impossible because of the few slip systems in the RE-Fe-B magnets at room temperature. The purpose of this study was to investigate the possibility of control of grain refinement and magnetic anisotropy of NdFeB alloy powder by the severe plastic deformation. The NdFeB magnet powder was fabricated by gas atomization process, and the powder was pre-compacted at high temperature. The pre-compacted billets were deformed by HPT (high pressure torsion), and then the deformed billets were observed microstructure and magnetic properties. After the HPT process at room temperature, the grain size decreased with increasing because of the melted Nd-rich phase, and the anisotropy of Nd₂Fe₁₄B phase was formed after the HPT process.

Lipotoxicity involves pathological alterations to cells and tissues in response to elevated fat levels in blood. Furthermore, this process can disturb both cellular homeostasis and viability. In the current study, the authors show that neural progenitor cells (NPCs) are vulnerable to high levels of palmitic acid (PA) a saturated fatty acid. PA was found to cause cell death associated with elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, and to reduce NPCs proliferation. To evaluate the lipotoxicity of PA in adult NPCs in the hippocampus, male C57BL/6 mice were divided into two groups and maintained on either a normal diet (ND) or PA-rich high fat diet (HFD) for 2 weeks. Interestingly, short-term PA-rich HFD feeding reduced the survival of newly generated cells in the hippocampal dentate gyrus and hippocampal brain-derived neurotrophic factor levels. These findings suggest PA has a potent lipotoxicity in NPCs and that a PA-rich HFD disrupts hippocampal neurogenesis.

Our recent investigation (Lee et al. 2015) suggests that the presence of double red clump in the Milky Way bulge is another manifestation of multiple populations observed in halo globular clusters. The origin of Helium enhancement in the 2nd generation population (G2), however, is not yet fully understood. Here we investigate the origin of this super-Helium-rich population in the framework of self-enrichment scenario. We find that chemical enrichments and pollutions by asymptotic giant branch stars and winds of massive rotating stars can naturally reproduce the observed Helium enhancement. The Helium to metal enrichment ratio appears to be ${\Delta}Y/{\Delta}Z=6$ for G2, while the standard ratio, ${\Delta}Y/{\Delta}Z=2$, is appropriate for G1, which is probably enriched mostly by typeII supernovae.

Objectives : In order to distinguish morphological characteristics, because the inside portion of the root bark of Scutellariae Radix decomposes as time goes by, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th year Scutellariae Radix were sampled and compared according to their external, internal, and flour states through optical microscope. Methods : The slice of the tested material made by paraffin section technique was colored with Safranine Malachite Green contrast methods, and the flour of it was mounted by the liquid made by the same ratio of each of glycerin, acetic acid, and water, and then observed and photographed by olymphus-BHT. Results : 1. The inside of 2nd year Scutellariae Radix was rich and golden, the transverse section of Scutellariae Radix that was 3rd years of age was golden, but there were many Scutellariae Radix whose center portion turned redish brown, and the center portion of 5th year Scutellariae Radix had been decomposed or empty. 2. 2nd year Scutellariae Radix had the most starch grain, 5th year Scutellariae Radix had the least, and the middle portion of xylem that was 5 years of age had a cell ring that was corkish, but 2nd and 3rd year Scutellariae Radix did not have it. 3. In the flour state, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th year Scutellariae Radix did not have any difference, but the amount of starch grain was the most in 2nd year Scutellariae Radix and the least in 5th year Scutellariae Radix.

The phonemic awareness program included construction of 45 activities emphasizing various sounds in speech and letter names using a storybook. The subjects were thirty 1st and 2nd grade low-income(15 experimental and 15 control group) children attending an after-school program in Seoul. Pre- and post-tests assessed children's reading, self-concept, and learning motivation. The experimental group children had rich opportunity to deal with and discuss sounds, syllables, phonemes, and the Korean alphabet names during storybook reading, games, and play over a 12 week period, while the control group children were provided with worksheets, subject tutoring, and homework guidance. Results showed that the phonemic activities were an effective and useful way to enhance children's reading ability, self-concept, and learning motivation.

Lipophorin (LP) was purified from hemolvmph of late last instar larvae of Hyphuntria cuneo D. by KBr density gradient ultracentrifugation. Chemical composition of LP was investigated by electrophoresis, thin laver chromatography and ryas chromatography. LP consisted of Apo-LP I and Apo-LP ll, and M.W. of them were 230 Kd and 80 Nd, respectivelv. Lipid of LP was mostly composed of neutral lipid including triacylglvcerol, diacvlslvcerol, monoacylglvcerol and free cholesterol, and phospholipid rich in phosphatidvlethanolamine and phosphatidvlcholine. Fatty acids present in these lipids were found to have be 14:0, 16:0, 18:1, and 20:1.

For advanced TFT-LCD manufacturing processes, dry etching of thin-film layers(a-Si, $SiN_x$, SID & gate electrodes, ITO etc.) is increasingly preferred instead of conventional wet etching processes. To dry etch Al gate electrode which is advantageous for reducing propagation delay time of scan signals, high etch rate, slope angle control, and etch uniformity are required. For the Al gate electrode, some metals such as Ti and Nd are added in Al to prevent hillocks during post-annealing processes in addition to gaining low-resistivity($<10u{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$), high performance to heat tolerance and corrosion tolerance of Al thin films. In the case of AI-Nd alloy films, however, low etch rate and poor selectivity over photoresist are remained as a problem. In this study, to enhance the etch rates together with etch uniformity of AI-Nd alloys, magnetized inductively coupled plasma(MICP) have been used instead of conventional ICP and the effects of various magnets and processes conditions have been studied. MICP was consisted of fourteen pairs of permanent magnets arranged along the inside of chamber wall and also a Helmholtz type axial electromagnets was located outside the chamber. Gas combinations of $Cl_2,{\;}BCl_3$, and HBr were used with pressures between 5mTorr and 30mTorr, rf-bias voltages from -50Vto -200V, and inductive powers from 400W to 800W. In the case of $Cl_2/BCl_3$ plasma chemistry, the etch rate of AI-Nd films and etch selectivity over photoresist increased with $BCl_3$ rich etch chemistries for both with and without the magnets. The highest etch rate of $1,000{\AA}/min$, however, could be obtained with the magnets(both the multi-dipole magnets and the electromagnets). Under an optimized electromagnetic strength, etch uniformity of less than 5% also could be obtained under the above conditions.

The effect of Co and annealing temperature on the magnetic properties, phase change and microstructure of melt-spun $(Nd_{14.73}Fe_{78.67}B_{6.60})_{100-x}Co_x$ (X=0, 1, 2, 3) ribbons has been studied. The Co containing ribbons were found to have higher coercivity ($_iH_c$) than the ribbons without Co. Intrinsic coercivity of 20.3 kOe has been obtained by addition of 2 at%Co. This effect by Co addition is also represented in the case of hot pressed and die-upseted magnets. The maximum intrinsic coercivities of hot press and die-upset $(Nd_{14.73}Fe_{78.67}B_{6.60})_{100- x}Co_x$ (X=0, 1, 2, 3) magnets are 16.9 kOe and 15.2 kOe when X=2.
